Abstract (en)
A wireless telephone dictation device includes a dictation mode in addition to an otherwise conventional wireless telephone mode. The dictation functionality of the wireless telephone dictation device is inconspicuous to those around the user of the device, and appears as if the device is a conventional wireless telephone. In a dictation mode, the wireless telephone dictation device records verbal passages from a user into an appropriate digital memory (or onto an analog cassette tape), under the control of buttons resembling those of a conventional wireless telephone (e.g., using various number keys of a twelve (12) digit alphanumeric keypad). The wireless telephone dictation device operates in an otherwise conventional fashion in a wireless telephone mode, allowing conventional wireless telephone (e.g., cellular telephone) functionality. A speech-to-text converter can be included to convert recorded verbal passages into text for display on an appropriate display. Preferably, the text display resembles that of a conventional wireless telephone. The wireless capability of the wireless telephone dictation device may be utilized to allow transfer of recorded dictation between wireless telephone dictation devices, or between a wireless telephone dictation device and a land-based dictation database. <IMAGE>
